Landscape with Figures

Oil painting on canvas. A seduction scene is described on a country path: a standing young woman shows her body to the man sitting to rest with her partner; while he looks away, his wife looks sorrowfully at the young harlot, holding her partner by the hand. Other travelers appear on the path. Perhaps of allegorical significance, the painting underlines the contrast between the freshness, brightness and ardor of the young female body, whose beauty is flaunted, and the ill-defined, bundled, almost hidden shape of the two elderly bodies. On the back of the painting there is a hypothesis of attribution to Giuseppe Gambarini (1680-1725) in pencil. Despite the dubious attribution, the painting is well done in the pictorial quality and in the rendering of the subject. Restored and relined, it is presented in a re-adapted antique frame.

Portrait of Giovanni Battista Bonanomi 1708

Oil painting on canvas. Bergamo school. Intense gaze of the gentleman portrayed, who presents himself with his blue frock coat and representative wig. At the back of the canvas the character is identified as "Gioanni Baptista Bonanome, born in the year 1660 on the first 7th of November, portrayed in 1708 on the day of July 16. Mazzari pinxit". The surname Bonanomi refers to a Lombard family, being widespread above all in the Lecco area, in the Milanese area, in the Como area and in Bergamo. The portrait, still on the first canvas, is in good condition, with only a few small drops of color mainly in correspondence with the left shoulder. It is presented in a gilded frame from the end of the 19th century.

Portrait of a noblewoman

Oil painting on canvas. Lombard school. The oval portrait of the noblewoman highlights the richness of the damask corset and delicate lace but also the severe hairstyle and the rigid composure of the look and pose; the lady drapes a red cloak around her shoulders, which she holds with her plump hand. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in an early 20th century frame.
